Hoitamattomina

Hoitamattomina is a small settlement situated in the southern part of Finland, within the administrative boundaries of the region of South Karelia. The locality lies approximately fifteen kilometres north of the town of Lappeenranta and is surrounded by a mixture of forests and agricultural land. According to the latest municipal records, Hoitamattomina has an estimated population of around 350 residents, most of whom are engaged in local farming, forestry, and small-scale trade.

The origins of Hoitamattomina can be traced back to the early 18th century when the area was first settled by Finnish farmers looking to capitalize on the fertile soils of the Saimaa lake basin. Throughout the 19th century, the settlement grew modestly, largely dependent on timber logging and subsistence agriculture. During the late 20th century, improvements in transportation infrastructure, including the construction of a regional road connecting Hoitamattomina to Lappeenranta, allowed for greater movement of goods and residents.

Culturally, the community hosts an annual harvest festival that features traditional Finnish music, local crafts, and regional cuisine. The settlement also has a modest primary school serving children from Hoitamattomina and neighboring villages, and a small community centre that functions as a gathering place for social events. While Hoitamattomina remains predominantly rural, it has shown interest in eco-tourism initiatives aimed at promoting its natural landscapes and traditional Finnish lifestyles.
